Same here. I'll put the 1280x1024 I use on my work monitor instead.

 

[UltraWide]

1920x1200

2405FPW

I wish it were bigger though...

This poll is worthless without 1680x1050. Add it for a lot more votes, and a more accurate results.

Those that CHOOSE their resolution are CRT owners. Those that are stuck at one resolution (usually 1280x1024) are LCD owners..

Yeah, we're "stuck" at an optimal resolution showing flickerless graphics, precise text, and a beautiful screen. If you have to be stuck, why not be stuck on perfection? Have fun changing resolutions all day.

1680 x 1050 ... 2005fpw

 

[secretanchitman]

1280x1024 on a 17" LCD which unfortunately has analog...

would like to upgrade to a dell 2405fpw soon.

 

[hans007]

i've got 1280x1024 on 17 inch. its all i really need for home. at work i've got dual 17s for 2560 x 1024 but i have far more windows open there.


i tend to like 1280x1024, dont have to get suepr fast video cards to run a native resolution 3d game for one thing. i would though upgrade someday to a 24" widescreen (20" widescreen is barely more resolution than 17" 4:3 and is not enough of an improvement in my opinion) with the glossy covering (like my 17"). alas no one makes one like that yet.

@home: 1920x1200 (2405FPW)

[rancherlee]

1280x1024 on a 19" LCD. No need for uber spendy video cards for me,

 

[Krazy4Real]

@work - 1680 x 1050 & 1280 x 1024 (dual monitor)
@home - 1280 x 1024

I can change my LCD's res to many things. Most CRT owners are stuck with a square screen. Have fun with that. Widescreen gaming is great.

Amazing how easy it is to change from 1:1, to Aspect, to Full, isn't it? CRT owners don't get that (since they don't option).

My Trinitron CRTs both let me adjust the picture size to get proper 16:9 though the direct acess controls in Nvidia drivers.

And you lose about 35% of your CRT display doing this....

Yep, pretty easy. The CRT "elitist" attitude is a bit funny to me. Some act as if a LCD is like using an etch-a-sketch to view graphics with, and that only a CRT can produce a good image.

Indeed, that's what I'm at right now. I voted for my desktop though, which is at 1280x960.

Amazing how CRT owners can switch from any resolution to the next without god-awful crappy, horrid, blurriness and degraded looks through awful interloption. LCD owners can't do that since they are stuck with "emulated" resolutions with sub-par sharpness (since LCD owners don't have the option of looking good at any resolution but one). Have fun with that.

That's pretty ironic, because CRT owners find it a bit funny that the "elitist" attitudes of LCD owners who seem to think simply because it's newer and thinner that it actual equals BETTER graphics at all resolutions.

I'd be a rich man if I had a nickel for everytime I heard an LCD owner talk about how superior LCDs are over CRTs even though they can only view one resolution that is worth a darn... "But it's slimer and newer... that mean's it's better, right?!?!".

 

[Ronin]

You're clueless, eh? All of us using LCDs used to use CRTs, bud. I was using 3 P1130's (21" Dell's) before moving to a 2005FPW with 2 1901FPs, and then to a 2405FPW with 2 2001FPs.

I'm well aware of what CRTs looks like, and I won't be ditching my 2405s anytime soon.

You hold on to your die hard attitude with your CRT, while the rest of us with LCDs enjoy true quality.

1280x1024 with 85 refresh rate. I would set it to 1600x1200 but man things get so small that I can't even see what im reading.
